No I am talking about the CQ WW contest. QSO within your own continent
for a North American station will count for 2 points while the rest of the
world
will get 1 point for QSO within their own continent. Sure doesnt seem fair to
me for a world wide contest, scoring should be the same for a JA SM or W/K
fellow.
Yes on the WPX I agree, the 0 point QSO deal is not a good idea so the point
structure for the WPX would benefit from a change.
